AIPAD awaits…
The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) has a show every year at the Armory in NYC and it is one of the most spectacular experiences you’ll have this year if you go – March 18-21.
I went two years ago and spent four hours walking up and down the aisles and had to rush the last hour to just get past every booth. I can’t make the trip this year but will definitely make it a priority next year.
A column by Jean Dykstra in the current PHOTOGRAPH magazine quotes Steven Bulger, Pres. of AIPAD saying that when AIPAD was founded in 1979 there weren’t many photographs selling for over $1000.
Well, how times have changed. With over 70 dealers from all over the world setting up shop for the show you can imagine, without too much effort, the diversity of work and price ranges show-goers will find.
But click here to download the 76 page catalog (only takes seconds) and see for yourself. If you love photographs and don’t spend at least an hour clicking through and reading the captions in this catalog, have a talk with yourself and straighten out your priorities. It’s a free tour through 170 years of images without leaving your couch. Although I wonder if, once you’ve reviewed the catalog, you might not find a friend to make the trip to NYC with and see the real thing?
